PRINCE2 7 Foundation Study Guide

Earn your PRINCE2 Foundation certification with a study guide built for the 7th Edition exam from scratch.

The PRINCE2 7 Foundation exam changed in 2023, and most study guides haven't caught up. If you're preparing for the PeopleCert PRINCE2 7th Edition Foundation certification, you already know the stakes. This credential opens doors to project management roles across UK government, the NHS, defence, finance, and enterprise IT. Employers list it as a requirement, not a preference. And the Version 7 exam is harder than its predecessor: the pass mark rose from 55% to 60%, new content was added on people, sustainability, and digital management, and the old "themes" were replaced with "practices". Outdated study materials will cost you marks.

This is not a recycled question bank or a repackaged sixth edition guide with a new cover. Every chapter was written to the official PeopleCert PRINCE2 7 Foundation syllabus released in September 2023, and the content is weighted to match the exam: the seven practices receive 60% of the coverage because they represent 60% of your marks. No other independent study guide does this.

What's inside:

• Complete exam coverage across all five learning outcomes - Key Concepts (the four integrated elements, six performance aspects, and delivery approaches), the Seven Principles with plain-English explanations and exam-specific mnemonics, the new-for-V7 People content that older guides miss entirely, the Seven Practices with role and document mapping tables, and the Seven Processes with RACI highlights and process interaction sequences
• 120 practice questions that mirror the real exam - Two full 60-question practice exams using all four official question types (Standard, Missing Word, List, and Negative), distributed proportionally across the five learning outcomes exactly as PeopleCert distributes them on exam day
• Full answer explanations - Why the correct option is right and why each wrong option fails, with no vague "see page 47" references
• Built-in exam strategy - Exam weight callouts at every chapter opening, plus Exam Alert boxes flagging the traps that cost candidates marks: output versus outcome versus benefit, risk owner versus risk action owner, quality control versus quality assurance, and more
• A dedicated Quick Reference chapter - Every principle, practice, process, management product, role, and reporting chain on a handful of pages for final-day revision
• Three study plans - A 40-hour plan for first-time learners, a 20-hour plan for experienced PMs, and a focused bridge plan for anyone upgrading from PRINCE2 Version 6

No fluff. No filler. No outdated content. Just a direct, clearly written guide that takes you from zero PRINCE2 knowledge to exam-ready confidence.
